1. What is a 401(k)?

A 401(k) is a retirement savings plan offered by employers in the United States. It allows employees to invest a portion of their salary—often before taxes—into funds that grow over time, sometimes with employer contributions.

The term comes directly from the U.S. tax code, reflecting its administrative and financial nature.

2. From a poem by Walt Whitman

From Song of Myself:

Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)
